What I Loved: Ashley's personality is all over her style. The sunglasses are big, bold, and fearless, but they compliment her face perfectly thanks to the gorgeous plum shade of lipstick she chose. The flowing texture of her cream top balances the more formal-feeling black of her shorts and shoes. She may be a badass, but she's the nicest badass in the Square.

Style Tip: Balance bold choices. In Ashley's ensemble, there's a balance of both textures and colors.
